“Ritual” is a substantiation of the Maestros continuing exploration into new subjects even as he entered his golden years. Whereas his more famous works usually depicted glamorized rural scenes of farmers and their muses under the bright Philippine sun, this one in contrast is an indoor look into the newly learned practice of worship by local natives recently converted into Christianity by the Spaniards. His figures are notably larger and slightly more realistic than in his earlier oeuvres but the masterful composition and exquisite brush strokes are undeniably Amorsolo's.
